ANALYSIS: There are very few women in top media management and editorial positions. Many women in the media are at lower levels. This is a historical as well as a social issue. The media policies do not address the issue of women and gender equity. On evolutionary scale, some media houses for example the defunct “Weekly Review” had deliberate policy for gender equity. Radio and television stations go for women not necessarily for gender equity but for the lure for face and voice. There is need to weave in affirmative action as well as policies that are proactive. SCORES: Individual scores: 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4 Average score: 2.0 (2005=3.8) 4.10 Gender mainstreaming is reflected in the editorial content. ANALYSIS: There has been overall improvement in media coverage of women in the last two years. Workshops to sensitive journalists do not target deconstruction of gender in the media, but focus on doses for specific coverage. Training should include gender mainstreaming. Women stereotyping persists in the media through adverts and negative images. Media continues to feminize problems for example poverty and HIV/Aids. There is need to re-think in what fashion women appear in the media.
